Abstract Background Shared facilities are not recognised as improved sanitation due to challenges of maintenance as they easily can be avenues for the spread of diseases.Thus there is need to evaluate the quality of shared facilities, especially in informal settlements, where they are commonly used.A shared facility can be equated to a common good
High-manganese austenitic steel was developed to improve the fracture toughness and safety of steel under cryogenic temperatures, and its austenite structure was formed by increasing the Mn content.The developed high-manganese austenitic steel was alloyed with austenite-stabilizing elements (e.g., C, Mn, and Ni) to increase cryogenic toughness.It w
Managing pests in carrot production is challenging.Endophytic microbes have been demonstrated to improve the health and productivity of many crops, but factors affecting endophyte dynamics in carrot is still not well understood.The goal of this study was to determine how crop management system and carrot genotype interact to affect the composition
An analytical model is presented that allows predicting the progress and the final depth obtained by laser micromachining of grooves in metals with ultrashort laser pulses.The model assumes that micromachined grooves feature a V-shaped geometry and that the fluence absorbed along the walls is distributed with a linear increase from Youth Bed the ed
Introduction and purpose: Gallbladder cancer is the most common neoplasm of the bile duct.Early GBC is usually asymptomatic, but is prone to early metastases.This means that most GBC cases are diagnosed very late, and this contributes to the poor prognosis of this disease.Less than 20% of GBC cases qualify for a potentially curable surgical resecti
